Docked in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Jan's beautiful Butterfly Goddess houseboat, which you can rent for the weekend through Airbnb, is the perfect place to indulge your dreams of an ocean getaway.

Equipped to sleep up to five guests, the boat boasts a beautiful rooftop deck, master suite with bathroom, and fully loaded kitchen to make your stay complete. Breathe in the ocean's fragrance and catch glimpses of dolphins as you watch the sun set from the upstairs deck. As you head aboard the boat, you'll immediately feel comfortable and right at home. Warm colors and an overstuffed leather couch make you want to take off your shoes and stay awhile.

A full service kitchen features everything required to prepare meals, including a dorm-sized refrigerator, oven/range, sink, and microwave. Glossy marbled countertops and a sparkling gold backsplash add life and elegance to the space.

Head into the master bedroom to find a spacious queen-sized bed in a private room located directly off the living area. Overhead cabinets provide storage, and a small window lets in just the right amount of light.

Float away from all your worries and enjoy the close proximity to local restaurants, shopping, and plenty of activities including renting a jet ski or a pontoon for your stay and make the most of this beautiful, tranquil location.
